Abstract: The partial evaporation of the sample liquid during X-ray analysis of liquids gives rise to problems, since the quantity of the sample liquid does not remain constant and evaporated gas is liable to invade the measuring paths in which it may lead to measurement falsifications. In order to solve this problem, there is provided a sample container for receiving a sample liquid, which container leaves open an opening at its top, and a cover is placed on the free surface of the sample liquid. The cover is not rigidly connected to the wall of the sample container and, therefore, allows pressure equalization. Evaporation phenomena are almost completely precluded as a result of the covering of the liquid surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of bonding together two pieces of composite material ( 10, 26 ) by applying a layer of glass fibre ( 20, 28 ) to a surface of each piece of composite material 10, 26 , and bonding the pieces together by means of adhesive ( 30 ) between the layers of glass fibre ( 10, 26 ). The inclusion of the glass fibre layers ( 20, 28 ) advantageously promotes failure of the bond adjacent the glass fibre-adhesive interface rather than at the glass fibre-composite material interface, with the result that damage to the composite material ( 10, 26 ) is minimised, and subsequent repair is made easier.

Abstract: A transthoracic electrical defibrillation method and apparatus for effectively defibrillating a fibrillating heart by delivering successive low energy electrical shocks to the fibrillating heart with the second such shock being applied at the onset of reinitiate fibrillation. Such low energy shocks produce current densities of sufficient magnitude to simultaneously place only a portion of myocardial cells in a refractory state, that portion being less than that necessary to defibrillate the heart. The composite effect of two or more low energy shocks each applied synchronously with the initiation or reinitiation of fibrillation, results in the successful defibrillation of a fibrillating heart.

Abstract: Eccentricity of a optical fiber installed in a passageway of a ferrule is minimized by imposing a force on the end of the optical fiber projecting from the passageway at the ferrule end face to push the optical fiber to a desired position in the passageway, prior to curing an adhesive used for fixing the optical fiber in the passageway, so as to compensate for eccentricity of the passageway. In one embodiment, the force is imposed on the optical fiber by hanging a weight on the optical fiber. In another embodiment, the force is imposed on the optical fiber by using a pressurized jet of fluid. The point of application of the force, the magnitude of the force, and the viscosity of the adhesive are selected such that minimal optical fiber bending occurs, thereby assuring that the optical fiber is positioned at the desired position in the passageway for an appreciable distance from the ferrule end face along the passageway.
